A newsagent shop which is moving premises has the word "STATIONARY" scribed on the new shop front.

It will be stationary in it's new location.
Signwriters, eh ? (They can't blame typos.)

Still...What can you say?....

I am reminded of a sign on a van some time ago for a company whose trade was office supplies, it said 'Keeping Stationery Moving' I thought that was pretty good....

they used to be the same word. Sellers of papers and stuff didn't travel round the fairs so much hawking their wares, they settled down near the cathedral, where the books trade was (because churchmen were the likeliest people to write, commission or buy books). So they became stationary shops.

If you roll a pencil down a hill, is it stationery?
